Has anybody up there taken one of these things out for a test drive? I have seen them at your autoshow, and am just curious about how good or bad they are or any overall impressions.

 

I sat in one and it felt like you were sitting out on the hood. Can't imagine I would have survived my accident had I been driving one of these.

 

We have a couple at work. How would I describe it well I feel safer on a motorcycle at least I have a helmet. The semi-auto feels like someone just learning how to drive standard very jerky. If you use the shift for yourself mode it runs out of revs too soon. But having said that my next door neighbours father in law has one and he loves it. You see them going down the highway at 120+ all the time. As a city only car with no space for luggage S2000 has way more it is probably ok

 

Everyone who've driven the first gen SMART give it a lukewarm review. People who bought one trade them away in a hurry. The ones left on the road are all fleet cars owned by printing shops and stuff. I guess you can probably find them cheap second hand, especially since the second generation SMART is coming.

 

So, talk to me about 2nd Gen Smart...

Thanks for replies already.

 

It went to high school...

 

Apparently the 2nd gen SMART was designed using stolen design documents from Ferrari and now the FIA want to ban all SMART owners from driving the car.

 

Now I must have one!
